Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Food Pantry

About Us

The All Saints St. Vincent de Paul Society is part of the parish’s social ministry. The Society is open to volunteers who are interested in serving people in need. This ministry is one of the ways that the parish helps serve the needs of the poor.

Vision Statement

To be faithful stewards of the time, talent, and treasure that God has given each of us by imitating Jesus.

Donate

Donations of non-perishable food items including canned goods, bread, eggs, cereal, rice, beans, pasta, etc., as well as toiletry items such as soap, shampoo, toilet paper, etc. can be dropped off at the pantry itself during hours of operation or through the parish office.  There are also designated baskets in the church for drop-off.  These will all be included as part of the food distribution to the needy.  Monetary support is also appreciated and can be made through the parish office.

History

In 1955, the Houston Council of Churches launched IM’s predecessor organization, the Church Welfare Bureau, to organize the Protestant community to minister to those in need. In 1964, the Bureau was reorganized as Protestant Charities of Houston, a group that was joined and strengthened by the Jewish community. Officially chartered as Houston Metropolitan Ministries in 1969, IM has been a leading force in bringing together people of all faiths to serve people in need in the greater Houston area. IM was renamed Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston in 1992 to reflect support from increasingly diverse faith traditions.

Our Hours

Monday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m.- 10:30 a.m. and Wednesday evenings from 6 pm – 7:30 pm.  Rent and Utility Assistance is now being processed on Mondays from 9:00 a.m.-10:30 a.m.

What We Provide

A group of dedicated volunteers operate All Saints St. Vincent de Paul Society’s Food Pantry. Some of the ways our volunteers help are by coordinating food orders from the Houston Food Bank, keeping the pantry shelves stocked, and working with clients (“friends”).  Volunteers also deliver groceries to friends who are physically unable to come to the pantry.
